Historical background
In the late 70s, Mita-Teknik began using microprocessors in a new modular microprocessor system that was named CS (Computer System). The system turned out to be an important ingredient to the new era. In 1983, one of the company’s customers decided to produce a 22 kW wind turbine and wanted Mita-Teknik to deliver the control system. It became a great success and Mita-Teknik became the first company in the world to use serial communication in control systems. Other customers acknowledged the quality of the control system and soon the company became a sub-supplier to several Danish wind turbine manufacturers. As a result Mita-Teknik grew and soon found themselves in need of more space, and in 1985 decided to move their headquarters to Rødkærsbro in Denmark, where they still reside.
Mita-Teknik’s engagement in wind energy really took off when the Danish Wind Industry started exporting to the U.S. in the 1980s. Mita-Teknik changed their strategy accordingly to develop their control systems further and make export possible. The strategy was to export a complete control concept for wind turbines that made the wind turbines work perfectly. Germany and Sweden were the first countries to import these control systems and soon India followed.
